We've raided plenty of villages in Afghanistan. It's not just Bin Laden we're looking for. It's members of al Qaeda, especially high ranking members. When we entered Afghanistan we also had and have to deal with the Taliban, who share the same ideologies that al Qeada does. I was talking about in Pakistan, we'd only go into caves, because I see that be one of the least offensive ways to go into that country. I don't think they'd take too kindly to us raiding villages there. Ah, I see. Well either way, I don't think Pakistan, nor most countries would take too kindly to the deployment of U.S. troops in their country no matter the reason; especially with the global reputation the U.S. has.

Well if those governments would just work with us in capturing these people, they wouldn't have to worry about us deploying brigade after brigade of troops.

Good one for bringing up something completely off topic btw. anyways. Did anyone see the facepalm guy while Obama was talking?

Oh man, this is a great change for America........ It is change. We are actually focusing on Afghanistan instead of letting something else divert our attention.

Though you could be right, the world isn't over yet, Obama very well could be our best president & change a lot of things. But he hasn't done it yet, although it's just his first year. He though has visited more countries than any other president ( 20 so far I believe ) so he's doing good.

There will be many more Presidents before the world ends, so I don't think he'll be the best.
